In these videos, we'll discuss the operation and components of the G0774 and G0854 automatic edge banders.
Please watch this video for specifics related to the G0774.
Please watch this video for specifics related to the G0854.
We've also included the specifics below if you'd like to follow along.
Overview of Stations and Components:
- Carousel: This is where the edge banding tape is placed to feed through the system. It has adjustable rollers for guiding the tape.
- Control Panel:
- Fotek Temperature Controller: Regulates the temperature of the glue pot.
- Motor Function Switches: Control the motors for various functions. Includes a shutdown switch and sensor switches.
- Infeed Temperature: For the preheat infeed fence.
- Emergency Shutdown Switch: For immediate power off.
- Standby Light: Indicates the machine's status.
- Panel Feeder: This belt-driven system moves the boards through the machine. It has an adjustment wheel for height, a dial indicator for board thickness (in millimeters, the digit furthest to the right is in tenths), and a top belt that runs the board across the roller table.
- Table: Features rollers set at a 15-degree angle to pull the board against the infeed fence and through the stations.
- Infeed Fence: A preheat fence that warms the edge of the board before it reaches the glue. It has a rubber wheel and a sensor switch that triggers the feeding of the edge banding tape.
- Glue Spindle Assembly: Applies hot glue to the edge of the board.
- Tape Application: The edge banding tape is applied to the glued edge of the board by a mobile and a stationary roller.
- End Trimmer: Activated by a sensor switch, this trims the leading edge of the applied tape flush with the front of the board.
- Flush Trimmers: Trim both the top and bottom edges of the edge banding simultaneously. They utilize a tracer that lifts the assembly for a proper trim. These have dial indicators (in millimeters) set to the thickness of the edge banding tape.
- Buffing Wheels: Refine and buff the edges of the edge banding tape.
- Electrical Junction Box: Located at the back, where 220V single-phase power is connected.
- Air Supply Regulator: Requires 6 standard cubic feet (SCFM) of air at 100 psi.
- Electrical Shut Off Switch: Main power switch.
- Electrical Cabinet (Bottom): Contains the termination strip, transformer, fuse blocks, PLC (programmable logic controller), motor overloads (five), and contactors (seven, with two specifically for heating).
- Pneumatic Cabinet (Center): Houses electrically pneumatic air solenoids, air regulators, and a pressure switch.
- Components on the Upper End:
- Adjustable handle for the infeed fence (forward/back).
- Locking handle for the panel feeder.
- Intrinsic safety switch (shuts down with the door open).
- Handle for the pressure roller (edge banding tape feed).
- Glue spindle knob (horizontal adjustment).
- Pneumatic air guillotine (severs tape).
- Handle for the glue pot lid.
- Handle for the height adjustment of the last part of the edge banding feed system.
- Handle for adjusting glue flow to the spindle.
- Pressure roller for edge banding tape (adjustable and stationary rollers).
- End Trimmer Motor: Electrically and pneumatically operated (horizontal and vertical movement).
- Flush Trimmer Dial Indicators: Set to the thickness of the edge banding tape (in millimeters, the digit furthest to the right is in tenths).
- Buffing Wheel Motors: Dual motors.
- Panel Feeder Hand Wheel: Controls the height of the panel feeder, with a dial indicator for board thickness.
Key Recommendations for Setup and Maintenance (from the video):
- Read the Manual: The manual included with your machine provides detailed information on setup, operation, and maintenance. It is crucial to read and understand it before operating the edge bander.
- Keep the Machine Clean: Regular cleaning, including adequate dust collection and vacuuming of internal components and stations, will help the machine run smoothly.
To get step-by-step instructions for setting up and maintaining your specific Grizzly G0774 or G0854 automatic edge bander, please consult the owner's manual that came with your machine. The manual will provide detailed procedures and specifications for your particular model.
